We call for a full and INDEPENDENT INTERNATIONAL INQUIRY into the Scottish Parliament elections of 3 May 2007. We do not believe the \"Electoral Commission\" - the governmental body which oversaw the the shambolic elections - is an at all appropriate body to carry out such an inquiry. As a government funded and appointed body, it is not nearly \"independent\" enough. Indeed, we believe its over-willingness to accomodate the essentially partisan requests of the main political parties was a major part of the problem. We futhermore have no faith in the Scottish or UK establishments to undertake anything but an excuse based \"it wisnae me\" Inquiry, reaching similar non-conclusion to the Fraser Inquiry ( Holyrood Building) or the Hutton Inquiry ( David Kelly/Weapons of Mass Destruction). We believe the United Nations has a vital facilitation role to play here. We further call for the immediate resignations of Scotland Office Ministers Douglas Alexander MP and David Cairns MP, the UK government ministers directly responsible for the shambles which shames democracy, shames Scotland and has excluded up to 150,000 willing voters from the democratic process. They are clearly negligent and no inquiry is required to established this. Never again - in our country, or any other.

The responses from the Scotland Office have been nothing but deflective excuses so far. Call your MP today and demand they push for a neutral international investigation instead of this internal cover up.

Disgraceful. No trust left in the system whatsoever.

UN inquiry is the only way to go. The Westminster lot will just protect their own as usual.

The whole thing was a total mess and frankly embarrassing for Scotland. We need the truth and not just some cozy cover up from the people who messed it up in the first place.

About time someone held them accountable. I was one of the many who couldnt cast a vote. Pure shambles.

150,000 votes gone is absolutely shocking. Heads need to roll for this disaster.
